This is in total contrast to my nearest canalside pub. Originally called The Shovel it has now metamorphised into the Malt Shovel, where the malt bit comes from I don't know, and is a gastro-pub. Last summer you could only get a drink there at weekends if you had a meal(no pint while waiting for the lock).

Best bit of all, no direct access from the pub to the lockside. After all we don't want to mix with those water gypsies do we (I have been called that).
